Product Description

Students will explore how an outlier affects the measures of center (mean, median, and mode) and measure of variation (range). Using two real-world data sets, students will calculate the measures of center and variation without an outlier then with an outlier. Students will notice that the mean is mostly affected by an outlier. This can be completed by students as a whole-group, as a center, or individually.
